Doctor's answer:

Hello! According to the description, the child belongs to a full-time sample. This child has a history of growth and development retardation. Postnatally, nutritional supplementation needs to be strengthened. Currently, the child's growth and development are still slow. We should check if there is any abnormal hormone secretion. We need to go to the hospital to check thyroid function and growth hormone levels to see if there are changes caused by hormone deficiency. If the blood test results are normal, then there is no problem.
